These behemoth warriors clad in armor are quite the force to be reckoned with. Their powerful ax can take a good chunk out of Link's life in a single swing. The best method is to lure them to attack, then rush in and get a hit between strikes. [[Bomb]]s and [[Bombchu]]s can damage them too, but it's harder for the second part of the fight. Halfway through the battle, they lose a layer of armor and run faster, but it also makes them more vulnerable to Link's sword. | These behemoth warriors clad in armor are quite the force to be reckoned with.

If he can time it well, lure them to attack, jump back, and just as they are finishing their attack, use a Jump Attack to deal lots of damage before they can retaliate.

Link can also use the [[Deku Stick]] + Jump Attack combo or [[Biggoron's Sword]] to deal with these enemies quickly. If he is having trouble with them, he can use [[Nayru's Love]] to become invincible for a short period of time; unfortunately, they still knock Link over when he gets hit, but he will not lose any life this way. | ||
The Iron Knuckle despite being one of the tougher enemies, has diverse methods of defeat. In Ocarina of Time, the bombs can be used to help deal with him and awake him allowing you to keep your distance and throw the bombs towards him. Deku Sticks can also strike him for a good bit of damage. Fairies are suggested for this battle, especially if a newer player dealing with this behemoth for the first time. When the Iron Knuckle strikes you, it strikes hard depleting a few hearts. Just avoid his strikes and use any of the strategies implemented above. | The Iron Knuckle despite being one of the tougher enemies, has diverse methods of defeat.

Being Young Link, another way to defeat them is to get right next to one and attack while defending (This doesn't work if you are Z-targeting). When doing this, its horizontal slashes should go right over Link's head; when it swings straight down, just simply take a few steps around it, guard, and keep attacking. Once Link knocks off a piece of its armor and it starts charging at him, just stay where Link is at and keep attacking while defended in its direction (he should hit it right as it goes to attack). The [[Bunny Hood]] is recommended, but not necessary. | Being Young Link, another way to defeat them is to get right next to one and attack while defending (This doesn't work if you are Z-targeting).

The Iron Knuckle in Majora's Mask | The Iron Knuckle in ''Majora's Mask'' remains equal to the ones in ''Ocarina of Time'', if not more difficult, since you remain a child. The Gilded Sword is recommended if you decide to use your sword to slash away at its armor, otherwise throwing bombs is effective, and so is the [[Blast Mask]]. You can even use a [[Powder Keg]] if you have one. Watch out for his attacks, and a [[Fairy]] may be a wise investment as usual for a battle with it. The shortness of Young Link may become an advantage, making you a less hittable target. | ||
